Hisoire. Will made his journey home
early this morning. He is not lost, he
is not dead, and he is no longer sick.
We know where he is – Heaven; he’s alive more than he has ever been and
yes, he is TOTALLY healed. His laughter,
his workmanship, his generosity, his friendship and yes, his worship! For those
of us who know Will, we will never forget the “Hallelujah” or the “Hoooo” yells
of worship; you could tell both would come from deep within his spirit. 2 Timothy 4:7 “I have fought a good fight, I
have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” Will Hisoire kept the faith
though his entire battle. His battle is
over and he has won victory! It’s not good-bye, Will. It’s “we will see you later!”

granddaughter. Opal was a wonderful cook; an avid stamp collector, and a

could quote long verses from poets such as Dickinson, Longfellow and
Whittier. She was especially known for her lively rendition of "The
Night Before Christmas." Opal was a long-time member of the Fairfax
Church of Christ in Winchester, where she served with many beloved

She loved to throw parties, and Nannie’s Halloween Pumpkin and Christmas parties were an annual delight not only to her children and grandchildren, but also to an extended group of family and friends.Carla was devoted to her church, Emmanuel Episcopal Church which she attended for over sixty years. She served on her parish vestry numerous times, as Senior Warden, Junior Warden, Head of the Grounds Committee, taught Sunday School, served on the Altar Guild, and sang in the choir. Carla was involved with the Episcopal Diocese of Lexington, serving on the Standing Committee, Executive Council, St Agnes House board, Diocesan Board of Episcopal Church Women, as the Cathedral Domain Capital Campaign Chairman (the Browning Retreat Center at Cathedral Domain was named for her family), Reading Camp, National Vice President of Daughters of the King, and was a supporter of St Augustine's at University of Kentucky, St.Raphael’s Episcopal Church, and the Church of the Nativity. Carla was a delegate to Diocesan Conventions, and to the Episcopal General Convention. She gave faithful support to each of the Diocese’s bishops, including serving on the Transition Committee for the Rt. Rev. Stacy Sauls. Carla extended the hospitality of a gracious home to the people she served in the Diocese. One could not count the little acts of kindness she quietly did, such as creating birthday cards for diocesan staff and baking sweet treats to share at every Executive Council meeting, or offering up daily prayers for those going to General Convention.
